232. Implement Queue using Stacks

Description

Implement the following operations of a queue using stacks.

• push(x) -- Push element x to the back of queue.
• pop() -- Removes the element from in front of queue.
• peek() -- Get the front element.
• empty() -- Return whether the queue is empty.

Notes:

• You must use only standard operations of a stack -- which means only push to top, peek/pop from top, size, and is empty operations are valid.
• Depending on your language, stack may not be supported natively. You may simulate a stack by using a list or deque (double-ended queue), as long as you use only standard operations of a stack.
• You may assume that all operations are valid (for example, no pop or peek operations will be called on an empty queue).

Solution

Two stacks, all functions O(1)

必须用两个stack来辅助，s1用于input，s2用于output。每次push到s1，每次pop或peek则通过s2。如果s2为空，则将s1的所有元素弹出并压入s2中。

class MyQueue {
    private Stack s1;
    private Stack s2;
    /** Initialize your data structure here. */
    public MyQueue() {
        s1 = new Stack<>();
        s2 = new Stack<>();
    }
    
    /** Push element x to the back of queue. */
    public void push(int x) {
        s1.push(x);
    }
    
    /** Removes the element from in front of queue and returns that element. */
    public int pop() {
        if (s2.empty()) {
            while (!s1.empty()) {
                s2.push(s1.pop());
            }
        }
        return s2.pop();
    }
    
    /** Get the front element. */
    public int peek() {
        if (s2.empty()) {
            while (!s1.empty()) {
                s2.push(s1.pop());
            }
        }
        return s2.peek();
    }
    
    /** Returns whether the queue is empty. */
    public boolean empty() {
        return s1.empty() && s2.empty();
    }
}

/**
 * Your MyQueue object will be instantiated and called as such:
 * MyQueue obj = new MyQueue();
 * obj.push(x);
 * int param_2 = obj.pop();
 * int param_3 = obj.peek();
 * boolean param_4 = obj.empty();
